Rebecca "Becca" Mather , BACP

Rebecca "Becca" Mather is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She is experienced supporting those facing parenting challenges, relationship strain and career-related stress. Becca brings a calm, warm presence to sessions and aims to help clients feel heard and less alone.

She creates a non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is overwhelming them. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that fit into daily life. Becca uses mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas alongside solution-focused work to help people notice what matters and move towards it.

Becca has four years of practice experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on her own experience of perinatal mental health to support women facing difficult pregnancies and early motherhood challenges, including postnatal anxiety, postnatal depression and Hyperemesis gravidarum.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Techniques such as guided mindfulness, values-based exercises and brief goal-setting are offered as invitations rather than requirements. Clients decide what feels useful and what does not.

Sessions can help people gain clearer thinking, better ways to manage strong emotions and more energy for everyday life. Becca aims to help clients build steady steps towards feeling more confident, calmer and able to cope with life changes.

Practical approaches for online counselling

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions guided by their values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and creating a respectful space so clients can talk freely and find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and together with the client decide which tools and exercises suit their goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques are offered as options rather than fixed requirements.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when verbal and non-verbal interaction matters, while phone sessions suit those who prefer a simpler connection or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or to hold shorter, focused conversations that fit around busy days. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain regular contact and steady progress.
